PA Supreme Court Rules that PIAA Must Follow Right-to-Know Law
(Harrisburg, PA) - The governing body for middle and high school sports in Pennsylvania must abide by the Right-to-Know Law. By a four-to-one decision Wednesday, the state Supreme Court ruled the law applies to the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association. The decision upheld a Commonwealth Court ruling from 2021. The PIAA had argued its status as a private nonprofit exempted it from the Right-to-Know Law, which was passed in 2008. The court, however, noted in its opinion that the PIAA is listed as a "Commonwealth entity" under the law.
